WordPress MU

I am playing around with this:

http://www.stimuli.ca/slickr

it works ok so far, only one problem persists: in the main plugin file, there is a section that seems to try and give the user a photo tab inside the write post and write page tab that seems to get filtered by wpmu as I jsut get a 404 error inside the write post tab.

the code from the plugin seems to be this:

 /* Our blog post image insertion tools */
    function uploading_iframe($src) {
        return '../wp-content/plugins/slickr/slickr/templates/'.$src;
    }

can there be a problem with the iframe thingy?

here is the error log:

[client 86.122.61.**] script '/var/www/web5/web/wp-content/plugins/slickr/slickr/templates/upload.php' not found or unable to stat, referer: http://sasha.zice.ro/wp-admin/post-new.php

It is a great find!

I got it working. It is intrinsically checking for WP 2.1 version, but it is not aware of WPMU.

Change the following line

if (!ereg('^2.1', get_bloginfo('version'))) {

into:

if (!ereg('^2.1', get_bloginfo('version')) || !ereg('^wordpress-mu-1.1', get_bloginfo('version'))) {

I'm getting this when I go to write something:
The requested URL /wp-content/plugins/slickr/slickr/templates/upload.php was not found on this server.

referer: http://domain.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

Oh, my typo here:

Change to this instead:

if (!ereg('^2.1', get_bloginfo('version')) && !ereg('^wordpress-mu-1.1', get_bloginfo('version'))) {

Great stuff! Thanks.

Gotta admit, I modified the silas partners flickr plugin/gallery.

did you do a heavy mod on that plugin?

hey kingler, can you assist a little bit more?

I still have these inside my error.log :

[client 62.159.242.114] script '/var/www/web5/web/wp-content/plugins/slickr/slickr/templates/upload.php' not found or unable to stat, referer: http://sasha.zice.ro/wp-admin/page-new.php
[Thu Mar 15 07:37:39 2007] [error] [client 62.159.242.114] Directory index forbidden by rule: /var/www/web5/web/wp-content/mu-plugins/mu-admin-menus/images/, referer: http://sasha.zice.ro/wp-admin/page-new.php

and when going to the write post page I get a 404 where the plugin tries to insert a photo tab...

and btw. I changed this line:

/* This caching method is very experimental and hella slow! */
/* change "fs" to "db" to use database caching instead */
if (!defined("SLICKR_FLICKR_CACHEMODE"))
define("SLICKR_FLICKR_CACHEMODE", "db");

so that db is used for caching instead of file system. If you want to use file system cache, you have to modify severall lines like this:

 $cacheDir = ABSPATH.'wp-content/blogs.dir/'.$blog_id.'/files/flickr-cache/';

there is actually no upload.php inside the whole plugin, and the only occurrence of upload.php is inside the slickr/slickr/templates/admin-photos-tab.html file looking like this:

<form method="get" id="photos" action="upload.php">

any advice? which upload file is this thing looking for?

isn't this the right string?

 if (!ereg('^2.1', get_bloginfo('version')) && !ereg('^WordpressMu 1.1', get_bloginfo('version'))) {

anyway this does not work for me.... still looking for a upload.php file...

ok, I found the problem but don't know how to fix it:

inside slickr/slickr/templates/ there is a file called inline-upload.php if I rename that to upload.php I am one step further, I don't get any 404s but instead in the write post or page screen I get: This script was not meant to be called directly.

I don't understand this - the plugin author gives us this file but then the file refuses to be called directly?

p.s. this plugin seems to replace the upload manager/function of wpmu if I am not mistaken...

###edit###
If I remember right, some time ago the inline-uploader.php was replaced with upload.php in wpmu.

if (!ereg('^2.1', get_bloginfo('version')) && !ereg('^wordpress-mu-1.1', get_bloginfo('version'))) {

I'm using this...seems to work.

ok and do you see a uploader/flickr images chooser inside your write post tab? I mean if you go write a post do you see such a thing instead of the original upload tab from wpmu?

yeap, I uploaded a regular photo np. Haven't tried flickr yet.

strange, I have 1.1 and I tried a php function to report my wp_version and it said: WordpressMu 1.1

or how would I find out what version I am using? is there another function?

I tried something like:

<?php  echo get_bloginfo('version'); ?>

which gave me back this:

WordpressMU 1.1

but even if I insert this: WordpressMU 1.1 I have to mv inline-upload.php to upload.php and then I get the this fiel was not meant to be called directly error...

Just tested it with flickr...seems to work. Thanks for the db heads up!

you're welcome, but I'd still like to use it myself ;-) any other suggestions? do my problems ring any bells with anyone?

Hi, Ovidiu

if you are still having problems, simply remove the entire section for checking wordpress version!

'if (!ereg('^2.1', get_bloginfo('version')) && !ereg('^wordpress-mu-1.1', get_bloginfo('version'))) {
*********************
}'

It is only needed for any earlier version of WordPress 2.1, not needed for WPMU 1.1.

thx.

I cut that if statement out, no problems. If I go write a post I get a 404 inside , still I can post, its kind of a 404 inside an iframe.

the error log says:

if I now go ahead and copy slickr/slickr/templates/inline-uploads.php to slickr/slickr/templates/upload.php as the plugi nis somehow looking for this file, I get this error:

I am now going to solve those max rerites problems, than go ahead and downlaod those missing files from trac, and come back and report if the problem is still persisting.

###edit###strage, I have all those js files but without the wp- prefix... just noticed these files are in trac without that prefix too - whats wrong with my isntall all of a sudden??

besides this I have done a

 grep -R -i 'slider.js' ../../wp-content/

I think slider.js is in wp-includes/js/scriptaculous

I'd think about upgrading to v1.1.1

Slickr intercepts calls to the upload tab in "write post" mode. Instead of showing the vanilla upload page, eg: /wordpress/wp-admin/upload.php, we intercept to point to our local slickr uploading page, inline-uploads.php, which includes a photos tab.

Basically, it used to work fine with older WP versions, ie: 2.0.x, but in the process of upgrading Slickr Gallery to WP 2.1, I managed to break compatibility with older versions. D'oh!

I'll try to fix this when I can but between work and family that likely won't be soon.

Download the latest version and give that a try. It should be compatible with 2.0.x, although perhaps not "mu"

I've included kinglers fix. Thanks kingler!

coolies, thanks for joining the discussion stimuli :)

ok I have another doubt. How are you placeing the plugin?

the download contains a folder slickr which contains another slickr folder and a themes folder.

how is your structure? mine currently is:

/wp-content/plugins# ls -al slickr/
total 56
drwxrwxr-x   4 web5_postmaster www-data  4096 Mar 16 08:22 .
drwxrwxr-x  80 web5_postmaster www-data  8192 Mar 16 08:53 ..
-rwxrwxr-x   1 web5_postmaster www-data  1196 Mar  1 05:42 README.txt
drwxrwxr-x   5 web5_postmaster www-data  4096 Mar 16 08:03 slickr
-rwxrwxr-x   1 web5_postmaster www-data 31222 Mar 16 08:58 slickr.php
drwxrwxr-x   7 web5_postmaster www-data  4096 Mar 15 08:02 themes

is this right? if its right, why does my write post tab give me this error in the photo tab place:

Warning: main(/var/www/web5/web/wp-content/plugins/slickr/slickr/templates/../../../../wp-admin/admin.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/web5/web/wp-content/plugins/slickr/slickr/templates/upload.php on line 4

if I go down from here wp-content/plugins/slickr/slickr/templates/ like this: ../../../../wp-admin/admin.php I won't end up in wp-admin, there is still ../ to go thats why I was wondering if I placed the plugin right...

*ahem* that's why I suggest nuking your current install completely, especially that upload.php you created, and reinstalling the latest version (uploaded last night) and trying again.

ok, I'll try right now, but am I supposed to have plugins/slickr and then another slickr folder inside that one?

ok, here is my next try:

cd /plugins
wget http://www.stimuli.ca/random/code/slickr-latest.zip
unzip slickr-latest.zip

chown and chmod to suit my needs

=> album works fine, but when I go to the write tab I get:

Warning: main(/var/www/web5/web/wp-content/plugins/slickr/slickr/templates/../../../../wp-admin/admin.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/web5/web/wp-content/plugins/slickr/slickr/templates/upload.php on line 4

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/var/www/web5/web/wp-content/plugins/slickr/slickr/templates/../../../../wp-admin/admin.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/web5/web/wp-content/plugins/slickr/slickr/templates/upload.php on line 4

send a copy of your /wordpress/wp-admin/upload.php to me at rustyvespa @ gmail and I'll see what I can do.
